    No-follow is only good for getting traffic.
    Do-follow is good for SEO.

    Google doesn't follow the no-follow link to your site, so it will not count it as a backlink to your site.
    With a do-follow link, the google spyder will follow your link to your site. Thus it counts as a backlink to your site. Helping you climb in the SERP.

    *edit*
    If you want to find out if a site is do-follow or no-follow.
    For example when posting comments with your link.

    Go to the comments and copy the name of 1 of the commenters. (ctrl c)
    Then right click the page and press "page source" then in the source press ctrl+f and paste (ctrl v) the name of a commenter in the search.
    Then you will be taken to his post.
    In that part you can see if it says no-follow. You now enough.

    Good luck.

    No follow & Do follow GREAT for SEO...... No follow = spiders just wont follow via that link but anchor and link is still indexed and gives link juice. Plus for all the folks that believe the myths Wouldn't implementing a Do follow only backlink program look un-natural therefore penalize you. Diversify your links it ALL helps in SERPS!

    Just another myth... add a no follow attribute to a anchor text and link on a blog. Go to your google webmaster tools and add an alert with the anchor text on your no follow ( use a unusual anchor text so you don't get 1000 alerts in your inbox) then rss submit and ping the crap out of your test post and google will send you a alert when indexed if its indexed you are getting link juice

    Also install the seo quake tool bar for fire fox or the mozbar for google chrome and they will stroke a line through every no follow link on a webpage you are viewing

    Do-follow backlink: it gives pr juice which helps to count the backlink

    No-follow backlink: it does not gives pr juice

    no follow may not give direct "PR juice" but does give link juice....regardless of do or no if the traffic being generated from a authority or high PR referral is meaningful in the end helps in PR period!

    Totally agree, nofollow just won't push PR but it's still good for seo

    Simple Difference No-follow do not share page rank with you but yeah it built link whereas Do-follow shares page rank with you.Do-follow links helps in increasing page rank of your website.Many other factors also influence page rank and do-follow links is one of them.

    I would just like to add that its good to have both dofollow and nofollow backlinks to your sites, google likes this and it builds a better record. Nofollow links also get traffic just by people clicking them but google dont recognise nofollow.

    Nofollow is not only good for getting traffic, other search engine still follow those links
    but google won't follow them(from what they said), and usually google is your main traffic source :)

    The difference in dofollow and nofollow links is that dofollow links is recognized by search engines while nofollow is not but it drives huge traffic towards your website... :)
